Uros Bizjak a432b7c0cf locking/lockref/x86: Enable ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF for X86_CMPXCHG64

The following commit:

  bc08b449ee14 ("lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()")

enabled lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg() only for x86_64,
and left x86_32 behind due to inability to detect support for
cmpxchg8b instruction.

Nowadays, we can use CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 for this purpose. Also,
by using try_cmpxchg64() instead of cmpxchg64() in the CMPXCHG_LOOP macro,
the compiler actually produces sane code, improving the
lockref_get_not_zero() main loop from:

 116:	75 58                	jne    170 <lockref_get_not_zero+0xc0>
